You may want to double check with your college/university on that - many dorms allow "hot pots" which are not the same as crock pots, they are just electric kettles meant for heating up water. In fact, many dorms don't like students storing food in them, out of concerns of attracting bugs, mice, moldy/rotten food, etc... They may also not be too keen to the idea of students leaving pots of stuff cooking all day in their rooms while they are off to classes.
We weren't even allowed to have microwaves in our dorm rooms when I was in college - I hid mine on my book shelf behind several books. But even then it was tricky not catching the attention of our hall monitor when they could clearly hear popcorn popping in my room along with the smell of butter, lol.
Plus, keep in mind how you are going to clean out a crock pot after cooking with it. Are there even public sinks in your dorm for cleaning dishes and such. We didn't even have that in my dorm, so I had to wash out my cups, utensils and dishes in our bathroom sinks, which was frowned upon by my fellow dorm mates.
